A Wilmington Enterprise.
Oue of the leidipg enterprises of our
city is the Blind,) Sash and Door Factory
of Messrs Altaffer & Price, situated at
the foot of Walnut street. The factory
his recently been enlarged and is now
fully three times the size it was when firs
i i
established. The capacity has been in
creased more than three fold j and the
quality of work now equals that turned
oat in any part of the country. Their
dry kiln is in successful operation and is
of an improved kind. It has a capacity of
3,000 feet oflumber and prepares
for use in about three days. The lumber
placed in the kiln is first subjected to a
direct application of steam and is then
dried off by steam pipes from the bottom
of the kiln. After the lumber is taken
out of the kilo, it is run through a sur
face plain' and is then cut up for the
work for which it is intended. Messrs
Altaffer & Price's factory contains all of the
new and improved machinery of merit
which is used in their branch of business.
i
Their band-scrowl saw, of which there
are very fawj in the Southern country, is
a beauty and turns out very handsome
work of all known designs. Among the
other machines now in use at the factory
are two moulding machines, three mor
tices, blind and slat borer, two tenonor
i
machines, blind rabbiting and beading
machines, patent door clamps, blind
wiring machine, carving machine with
attachments, and innumerable swing and
circular saws.
The capacity of the factory is, for an
ordinary day's work, fifty paira of blinds,
fifty sash and fifty doors. If necessity re
quired it, as it sometimes does, a greater
amount of work could be turned out. By
the strictest attention to their business and
the great care taken with each job
Messrs. Altaffer & Price have made for
themselves an enviable reputation, and
have built up a trade whKh they have every
reason in the world to be proud of. They
turn out all kinds of plain, lancy and or
namental wood work, I The enterprise is
one of which our people should be proud.

The Burgaw and Onslow Rail Road
We are requested to state that there
will be a public meeting held at Burgaw
on Monday next, 3rd. November, in the
interest of this important measure of
home internal improvement. Competent
speakers will address the meeting. Now
that crops are finished, the people of
Pender and Onslow counties seem deter
mined to renew their scheme of bettering
their condition, and it is hoped that Wi'e
mington and New Hanover and other
neighboring counties will give a helping
hand. Tbe com mi flees on subscription
should push forward the work assigned
them. The road can and should be built.
A series of public meetings in Fender ana
Onslow will be held this fall and winter
in behalf of pushing; forward to comple
tion this long needed measure of giving
new life and prosperity to the people of
the counties mainly interested. I We trust
there will be a fine turnout next Monday
at Burgaw and a lively spirit manifested
in favor of the Burgaw and Onslow Rail
Road. The road can easily be mads to
be an important feeder of Wilmington. (

Waddell' Lecture Last Even -
inc.
Despite tbe inclemency of thf weatLer
last evening the, rooms of the Historical
and Scientific Society were crowded with
pne of the most appreciative audiences
ever essemblei in Wilmington, to hear
this distinguished gentleman. The seats
were not only occupied, but the vestibule
was filled also "with eager and attentive
listeners, and we doubt if so many pleas-
eu peupie could nave been found any
where in the State as were
assembled in
Society Hall last night.
And they had
great cause for their pleasure, for it was
certainly a most charming address, ad
mirable in conception, in expression and
in delivery. For our own part we do not
known, when we have been more delight
ed, and we thank Col. Waddell most
heartily for putting us in a better humor
than we have been in lor in any a long
day. We shall attempt ncr lengthened
description of the lecture, but will simply
state that it abounded in Hashes of wit.
playful humor and polished satire that!
left no'stiog. His allusion to the vener -I
able historian of the State, Colonel John
H. Wheeler, was exceedingly
chaste and beautiful aud did
honor alike to his head and heart. The
lecture was, in fact, a humorous argument
to show that North Carolina vaunt have
been originally settled by Irisbraen, be
cause Irish characteristics niaiksd the
whole history of the State. Each of the
North Carolina historians i a succession
was cited to prove this. It was really a
chronological analysis of the facts from tbe
lime oi oir waiter iwaii&ii uuu iu; iuc
adjournment of the last .Legislature,: re
cited with all the gravity of a historical
ecture. but stated iu such a way as to
make them appear ludicrous and contra
dictory. The ecclesiastical, political and
judicial legislation of the different eras was
put iu such a light as to l.'Justrate the
Irish theo:y in a very amusing and no?el
way, but every statement was strictly true,
and in this respect the lecture was really
instructive. The colonial period especially
afforded abundant material for the lecture,
but the lecturer seemed to find all he
wanted in every subsequent period down
to the present day. We should have men-
ioned that he prefaced his argument with
the statement that being an Irishman
himself by descent, ha kiiew. whereof he
was speaking. I
The lecture had but 'one fault; it was
too short, it but whetted our appetite for
more. It is so seiaom we nave ueu a
treat offered us that we may surely be par
